Complimentary "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" Ringtone

We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on

I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go

Tell me what you wanna know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Review about Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

JeNnY wAs A fRiEnD oF mInE! | Reviewer: anni | 8/4/2008

brandon flowers i love you. anyway its definately about a murdered girl since brandon flowers said it himself in an interview. i think he is being acused of murdering jenny and says, "there aint know motive for this crime jenny was a friend of mine" meaning that he wouldnt murder her and she was a friend of his but he was kind of mad with her looking at the first verse

my interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/2008

im gonna have to disagree with you guys. most of the lyrics suggest that he did in fact kill her. "she couldn't scream while i held her close" and "i swore id never let her go", though she had somewhere to go. When he says "there aint no motive for this crime", he means that he didn't have any reason to kill her but he did anyway

The Trilogy | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/26/2007

"The Murder Trilogy" is Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf (from Sawdust), Midnight Show, and then Jenny Was a Friend of Mine. Basically, it's about a jealous boyfriend/husband who kills off his wife. (because either he cheated, or he thought she did.)And then he kills her and gets rid of the body in Midnight Show. (He literally took his baby's breath, it has nothing to do with flowers.) Mr. Brightside could be related, but from what I understand, it's not from the same set.

And I'm pretty sure Brandon was never accused of murder, otherwise this song would be like, practically owning up to it. Just look at what happened to OJ.

Explanation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/2007

I've read that the 1st part of the set is "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" (released in Sawdust) and that makes sense because of in the lyrics of that song he talks to "Jennifer"

Favourite song ever | Reviewer: Chris | 11/21/2007

I love this song! especially the keyboard at the end. I think the lyrics 'she couldnt scream while i held her close' suggests he suffocated her maybe? i love the link of the all three songs aswell. Just shows how talented the killers are.

great song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/30/2007

you all really got it, but i think that it's weird these songs have sick lyrics but they are beautiful. brandon is a genious. i think this song is about how he is trying to lie about not killing her, but of course he did in midnight show (best song ever). and mr. brightside is like how he didnt mean to get in a relationship with her but he is stuck with her. so he kills her.

Jenny's death.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/24/2007

This is, I agree, definitely related to Mr. Brightside and Midnight Show. However, it sounds like this one could go either way--he killed her, or he held her while...she died? But the screaming part is pretty incriminating...

Sareese | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/22/2007

This song is really good, but the lyrics kind of mystify me. I keep hearing that it's about a guy who killed his girlfriend out of jealousy, but it sounds like an honest defense of his innocence. (It sounds like he says Jenny was his friend and he had no motive for killing her.) Great song though.

an explanation: | Reviewer: emily | 9/22/2007

I'm pretty sure that Mr. Brightside is part I of the set, and that it's about her cheating on him, and then part II is A Midnight Show, before he kills her, and part III is Jenny Was A Friend of Mine, and thats the next day, talking to the cops.

Jenny | Reviewer: CP | 9/20/2007

What I think, is that since Brandon writes his own songs, its from his point of view.
My friend told me that he was accused of killing his friend and this song was like in reply to the whole thing.
But idk.
